The NYC DOE, the New York Yankees, and The Stonewall Inn are proud to announce that applications are open for the 2024 Yankees-Stonewall Scholarship.
Now in its 6th year, these $10,000 college scholarships celebrate the achievements of FIVE NYC Public School graduating seniors (one per borough) who have demonstrated impactful support of the LGBTQ community. All graduating seniors in a NYC Public School, intending to attend a 2-year or 4-year college, are eligible to apply online at this link.
The application components include two 500-word essay prompts and a short answer prompt describing LGBTQ advocacy and leadership the applicant has displayed in either school or their community. Applicants must also submit a recommendation letter from a teacher at their school.
Applications will close on April 6th, and one student from each borough will be selected. The NYC DOE, in partnership with the Yankees and The Stonewall Inn, will review all 2024 applications and name this year’s recipients in the spring. Email LGBTQ@schools.nyc.gov with any questions.
